Dave PLEASE test the sleep state behaviors. The most infuriating thing about current Windows laptops is the awful sleep states where it force quits all your apps (yes sleep, not hibernate), and then takes 2 minutes to get fully up and running past all the startup processes even on high end machines. Forget battery life and efficiency, I just want a laptop that's ready to go when I open it.

my experience is the opposite. On my laptop, current Windows standby is super power-hungry, so much so that the fans keep spinning, whereas on all my previous laptops it consumed little to no power in sleep mode. "It evolves, but backwards" meme is perfect for this.

When they're on sale for $379 at Best Buy, I'll pick one up. The prices on these machines are too high! They're priced just like Apple stuff. I'll gladly buy the model that has an IPS panel and a plastic case for half of what these machines selling for. Until then, I'll keep my cheap $279 Walmart Lenovo Core i3 11th gen laptop that I added a 512 GB SSD drive and 8GB of ram to for $50 more.

The disparity between how much reviewers seem to love devices with Snapdragon chips, and how much users of those devices despise the slowness and lag they inevitably always seem to have, is pretty amazing. Either reviewers are super out of touch, or Qualcomm has a significant marketing budget.
@scod39084 ай бұрын
Portable device MS Windows have been living in the shadow of the M series chips for 4 years, chained to the wall by their charging cables. Snapdragon only needs to be in the same ball-park as the M series for them to eat it all up. Higher thermals, greater range of hardware compatibility issues, MS Windows X86 application conversions 4 years behind and parallel development required to retain X86 compatibility... we'll just see if the extra performance from the ARM SoC can make up for all of those issues.

@@az-fy3mp Couldn't give a flying F about the stock price, only care about the products offered. Qualcomm was a relative nobody in the field of processors to premium tier laptop buyers before their acquisition of questionable ARM based products developed by ex apple employees under licence terms which got them sued by ARM It's no wonder companies including MicroSoft were pre-releasing benchmarks from questionable sources {cough, signal65 who are apparently so biased they literally appear to advertise the Snapdragon product on their website's home page, cough} to push pre-orders trying to get the devices to market as quickly as possible. With all that cash behind them they can drag the process thru the broken USA court system long enough to make a fortune even if they lose or settle. Don't forget Qualcomm spent $1.4b purchasing Nuvia's ARM "server" licensed design, it's all about the profits The Qualcomm cores aren't as refined (see single core performance tests) and the device applications in the premium market are getting interesting to compare (eg, Macbook Pro M3 14" has 25% larger battery than the 14" Samsung Galaxy Book equivalent as well as the M series chips utilising a combination of efficiency cores which the Snapdragon lacks, so you can presume a marked difference in battery life). Let's not forget the PC-crew harping on about soldered memory.... while Samsung and others quietly released their Snapdragon products with eUFS memory

I've been running the win11 ARM build as a parallels VM on both my M1 Mac Mini at work and another on my M1 Max MBP at the house and it's been absolutely flawless. I've tested some pretty obscure windows software on this ARM build of Win11 and everything just works... as a matter of fact, ARM Win11 runs faster on my macbook pro than a couple of brand new i7 laptops we have at the office. It feels on par with a new Precision 5680 with the 12 core i7 13800H CPU running standard x86 Win11.

Because of the scale of my projects, the surface was always perfect for what I needed. It is time to upgrade, but this new ARM stuff has me confused because all I know is that it is a mobile chip, meant for efficiency and power. does that mean there is a hit in performance? I want to use Davinci Resolve, Revit, Autocad and Adobe Suite, like I typically do. How good is the support for typical Desktop PC apps on these chips? would I be losing out on Power? and should I just get the previous Surface Pro and not the new one announced today?

I've been using a Surface Pro 7 i5 for the past 5 years and have been thinking about switching to a M3 MacBook. But my workplace got MacBooks because of their great battery life, and after using one for over year I still can't get used to MacOS. Managing files, windows, and multitasking just feels so unintuitive, and it's missing a lot of basic productivity features. Honestly, it feels like using Windows from 10 years ago. Plus, trying to use Excel professionally is a nightmare since the advanced tools in Power Query and basic keyboard shortcuts aren't there. I'm really excited to see the first reviews of the Snapdragon X Elite to find out if Windows laptops are finally a good choice. I might wait for the second generation before making a decision, though, since my Surface Pro 7 is still lacking only the battery life.
